Panoramic X-ray Budapest
With imaging techniques such as panoramic X-rays, we can detect hidden dental problems before treatment begins, so we can outline possible solutions for our patients and provide a complete treatment plan. The projection of the image also allows us to easily show you the affected, problematic areas.
What is panoramic X-ray in Budapest used for?
Digital panoramic X-rays are one of the most commonly used diagnostic procedures, which can be used to both assess the patient's dental condition and perform a gum diagnosis.
What does the digital panoramic X-ray in our Budapest office provide information about?
The panoramic X-ray taken in our Budapest office provides a complete picture of the dentition. It provides information about the position of the teeth, shows if the teeth are inflamed or cystic, indicates tooth decay, can help to find the cause of bleeding gums, shows tooth loss and can also provide information about the condition of the sinus cavity.
What is needed for a panoramic X-ray in Budapest?
Your digital panoramic X-ray is taken in our office immediately, without a referral, in a quick and painless procedure. If the patient wishes, we can provide the image in digital format.
What is the cost of a panoramic X-ray in our Budapest office?
A digital panoramic X-ray in our Budapest office costs 6000 HUF, which we will help you to analyse during a consultation about the state of your teeth, with the preparation of a treatment plan.
Is it possible to have a panoramic X-ray taken elsewhere evaluated in our Budapest office?
Yes, at Pure Dental Budapest you can ask our doctors to evaluate panoramic X-rays taken elsewhere.
When should I have a panoramic X-ray taken in Budapest?
It is recommended to have a panoramic X-ray taken during the annual dental check-ups, especially if the patient has root canal teeth, implants or wisdom teeth. It is also essential to have an X-ray before starting orthodontic treatment or before major procedures such as periodontal treatment or oral surgery.
How are panoramic X-rays taken in our Budapest office?
The first step is to ask the patient to remove all metal objects, such as jewellery or glasses, from the head or neck. The reason for this is that metallic materials can cause distortion on the panoramic X-ray, which can lead to a key loss of information.
The patient then wears a lead sheath to protect vital organs from radiation during the imaging.
During the imaging, or exposure, the patient remains motionless in a position set by our doctor while the imaging unit completes the process. A panoramic X-ray in Budapest is taken with the machine circling the head for about 5-10 seconds - this is the short period of immobility, but you are still allowed to breathe.
Are there any risks associated with panoramic X-rays in Budapest?
Digital panoramic X-rays in our Budapest practice are a completely risk-free imaging procedure, as the digital scanning process emits minimal radiation, which is not likely to cause any stress to the body.
What are our options if a panoramic X-ray in Budapest does not prove to be a sufficiently detailed solution?
If you need a more detailed image of your teeth, a 3D CT scan can be a solution, which is also available in our office and is similar to a panoramic X-ray. The difference is that while a panoramic X-ray provides a two-dimensional image of the dentition, a CT scan provides a three-dimensional image of the dentition.
